Tackling Poverty Action Plan

Lambeth Council is committed to tackling deprivation in the borough, and making sure fewer local children grow up in poverty. As a borough of equity and justice tackling these issues are key in ensuring everyone in Lambeth can thrive.

In response the council is updating its approach to reducing poverty, financial insecurity and debt in our borough. It builds on work carried out during the cost-of-living crisis and during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Resident involvement is crucial in ensuring we get this right. So the council wants to hear from residents about their concerns relating to poverty, their experiences of accessing support and what they would like to see from a fresh approach to tackling the issue.
